This is the first time we did not stay on the busy Seawall Blvd. We decided to try this beachhouse and it was awesome! Comfortable beds, nicely decorated and very clean. The private beach was wonderful! No crowds and very peaceful. The resort was just as described and the pool was just like the photo with a view to the ocean. This was a great family getaway for us and we liked it so much everyone agreed that we will not be returning to the Seawall Blvd. Thanks for letting us share your beachhouse!

Owner response:Pointe West is like no other place in Galveston. A true family resort with safe walkable neighborhoods and nature trails just 20 miles from the hustle and bustle of the Seawall. Take your pick of a groomed, wide uncrowded beach, an infinity pool or a lazy river pool. You'll never stay on the Seawall again!

Really nice home like one that you would furnish yourself if you owned a beach home. Well maintained home. The pictures and the description are spot on. Would recommend this home to anyone who is in the market to rent a home.

We loved our stay at "The Anne Marie"

My family had a wonderful time at this lovely cottage. Lots of room - the placement of the bedrooms is perfect for the "older parents" that like to get up early and have coffee sitting on the back deck - not disturbing the youngsters and their late sleep. I've never stayed in a rental where the kitchen was as well equipped. We all enjoy cooking, and there was not a thing we needed that was not there...thank you Lochrys. The short walk to the beach was great - our 4 year old granddaughter could not wait to cross the bridge every day and head to the sand and water. The beach was so clean and the sand so white - I love this part of the Galveston beach and we will be back. Our family ate diner each evening downstairs on the covered patio - grilling and the guys playing games in the grass. Granddaughter loved the chair swing - she asked Mimi to get her one...I'll be looking for one of those for her :) :) Thanks again for a wonderful stay in your lovely beach home!!! We all highly recommend it!!!

Wish I Was There Now

We stayed at Anne Marie on May 24-30, 2011. The cottage was every bit as charming as described. The rooms are well situated with the master on one side and the other two on the other. The walls are nice and thick so our grandson could take a nap without us having to be quiet in the rest of the house. The web pictures are accurate and give a wonderful detail of the house. It sit's on a pond and the back yard area is wonderful. It sits facing West so in the afternoon and evening the patio and back are in the shade. We grilled at night and sat and drank coffee in the morning while watching the sun come up. It was wonderful!! The house is very well equipped with everything we needed for cooking, eating, drinking and enjoying all the property has to offer. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms roomy, and living and dining roomy enough that we didn't trip over each other. The cross over to the beach is a short walk down the road. We went running and walking every day both on the beach and on the paved trails around the resort. At the far end of the resort we found the cross "under" to the Bay side of the property and also walked over there on the trails. We also went to the Beach Club every day to swim and enjoy the wonderful view from the pool that looks over the Gulf of Mexico. We ate lunch pool side two days and enjoyed a cool drink on some of the afternoons. On three occasions we went into Galveston. One day shopping at the Strand and eating at Gaido's, one day we went to Moody Gardens, and the last evening before leaving we went to see the Elissa and ate at Fisherman's Wharf. While looking out over the Harbor, dolphins provided our entertainment while we ate. A real memory to keep. The owner of this property has it together in renting this house. It was so easy and I had all the information needed for a wonderful vacation and stay. We loved being out of the hustle and bustle of the city. I loved going to the beach with my grandson and feeling totaly safe from vehicles coming down the beach. We loved everything about this place and don't have one single complaint about anything. I would recommend this place for couples, family, and friends. In fact I have told many about it already. We are looking forward to another visit here soon. We made memories for a life time.

Reunion at Anne Marie

We selected the Anne Marie beach house for a mini-reunion of a college singing group, some of whom had not seen the others for over 40 years. The house was perfect for our extended weekend. We were able to prepare some wonderful meals together, catch up on old times in the comfortable living area, and take the opportunity for our guests from New Mexico, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida to enjoy the beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and very beautifully maintained. We were able to use the house as the staging area for day trips to Galveston and the Johnson Space Center. All in all, the beach house was perfect for our needs, being much nicer, much more economical, and much more intimate than a hotel. All of our guests add their hearty endorsement.

"Great Time In Galveston" We had the best time! Place smelled so clean & pristine! Shelling the beaches! We walked @ night & saw rise of harvest moon, planets & stars. Beach & area so safe @ night... So unlike our June trip on Seawall.... Please share our comments online w/ VRBO....

A wonderful weekend at Ann Marie

We had a wonderful time at Ann Marie. The house was very cute, comfortable, clean and cozy. We enjoyed cooking our 2 breafasts and1 cook-out for dinner. Our 6 years old granddaughter really enjoyed the beach, the pools at the Beach Club. We were lucky that we did not experience any mosquito during our stay there, we even played an "Uno" game with our daughter at the picnic table when the babyback ribs were slowly cooked in the grill. The pictures of the details for the house were just like how we saw them. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Lochry for sharing it with us. Hope we can come back again soon!

We had the best time in the Anne Marie!! The property owner thought of everything! The house was so clean and provided every detail you could possibly need!! The beds were so comfortable!! My family all slept so well! Grilling on the lower patio in the evenings was a big bonus for us! The beach was so close, clean, and not crowded. The entire family enjoyed going to the beach and the beach club pool every day. It was the perfect place for us to vacation!! We hope to return yearly!!

We had a wondeful time at Anne Marie. The house was in the perfect location and was everything we expected it to be. It was very relaxing and we loved the fact that the beach was just a walk away. The beach was surprisingly clean! Having access to the amenities was a plus. We will definitely be back again.
